Our Focus
Supporting Our Farmworkers
Oxnard's agricultural community is built on the dedication of farmworkers who sustain our local farming industry. The Oxnard Monday Club recognizes the vital role these workers and their families play in our community's prosperity.
Through our commitment to promoting education and social harmony, we support organizations that serve Oxnard farmworker families—from ensuring access to safe housing and healthcare to providing educational opportunities for the next generation. When farmworker families thrive, our entire community benefits.
Supporting Basic Needs in Our Community
The Oxnard Monday Club is committed to ensuring all community members have access to essential resources. We support local organizations that provide critical services including nutritious food, safe and affordable housing, healthcare access, and transportation assistance.
By addressing these fundamental needs, we help strengthen our community and create pathways for families to thrive. When our neighbors have stable housing, adequate nutrition, and reliable healthcare, all of Oxnard grows stronger together.
Investing in Our Youth
The Oxnard Monday Club is committed to empowering the next generation. We support local organizations that provide youth with essential resources including educational programs, mentorship opportunities, safe recreational spaces, and pathways to success.
By investing in our young people, we help build a brighter future for our community. When Oxnard's youth have access to quality education, positive role models, and opportunities to grow, our entire community thrives.
